Greetings, The temperament that was proposed for us various techs to compare reactions with was as follows: C = 5 C# = 1 D = 3 D# = 3 E = -2 F = 5 F# = 0 G = 5 G# = 2 A = 0 A# =4 B = -1 There are four M3rds that are widened to 18 cents (E, B, F# and C#). The C-E is only 7 cents wide and the F-A is 8. Ab is 17cents, etc. This provides a pretty fair amount of contrast, and I use it quite a bit. For those that want to compare it with something a little more refined, I think the Coleman 11 would prove to be an excellent introductory temperament for tuners to offer: C = 4 C# = 1 D =1 D# =1 E = -2 F = 5 F#= -1 G =3 G# =1 A =0 A# =3 B =-3 Ed Foote RPT www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/ www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/well_tempered_piano.html <A HREF="http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/399/six_degrees_of_tonality.html"> MP3.com: Six Degrees of Tonality</A>
